3. Supporting Information: Provide data to characterize the variety in the following areas:
a) Forage and/or grain yield and other agronomic responses obtained from test locations that
support the area of adaptation.
b) Disease and insect resistance reactions and the testing conditions used to determine them
(i.e., field, greenhouse, or laboratory). State specific races or strains of organisms, if
known.
c) Any other relevant identifying factors, such as forage quality and processing qualities.
Provide separate data from at least two years and two locations in the area of adaptation for
agronomic traits, as appropriate. Include at least one recognized check variety for grain and/or
forage yield and milling and baking traits. Include and identify susceptible and resistant checks for
comparative pest reactions.
Present all data in well-constructed tables appended to the end of this application. Number the
tables and indicate where the data were collected. Include captions or footnotes as necessary to
clearly explain the nature and units of the headers and units of measurements. Provide a measure
of statistical significance (P = .05) and the experimental variance for each location-year or test.
4.
Summary Description: Provide a concise, single page description of the variety for AOSCA to
publish for use by official seed certifying agencies. All claims must be supported by data. Use the
instructions and template located at the end of this application.

Summary Description Format
Provide a concise, single page description of the variety on the next page for AOSCA to publish for use by official
seed certifying agencies. All claims must be supported by data. You must use the categories described below, using
COMPLETE SENTENCES. Insert your text in the blank cell next to the item number. PLEASE DELETE THIS
INSTRUCTION PAGE WHEN SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION.
1.
The name of the variety, including its experimental designation, its market class, and the identity
of the developer and/or owner. Example: OurTrit (Experimental no.) is a hard red winter wheat
developed by ABC Breeding Company.
2.
A summary statement of the selection criteria and breeding procedures that were previously
described. Confidential business information is not required. Example: OurTrit was selected
for high spike density, resistance to stripe rust, and high falling number using the single seed
descent method.
3.
Area of probable adaptation, testing locations, and primary purpose for which the variety will be
used. Example: OurTrit was tested in western Oklahoma and is well-adapted as to be a grazingtolerant bread wheat in the irrigated and dryland production areas of the southern High Plains.
4.
A statement relative to the claims made (supported by evidence presented in this application)
about the variety’s agronomic disease and insect resistance. Example: OurTrit is possesses
excellent lodging resistance, is resistant to races 1, 2, 3 of stem rust and moderately resistant to
Hessian fly.
5.
Provide a detailed description of morphological, physiological and other identifying
characteristics by selecting options presented in the Variety Objective Description section and
typing or pasting the selections into the table on the Summary Description format page. Include
a description of variants and their frequency at the end of the section.
6.
State the certified seed classes to be recognized, the party responsible for maintaining the variety,
and procedure(s) adopted for maintaining seed stocks, with limitations, if any. If applicable, state
whether the variety may be subject to collection of a royalty fee by certifying agencies and
whether any kind of stewardship or licensing agreement is required that would affect certifying
agency activities, such as trait-verification by molecular or bioassay testing. Example:
Recognized classes of OurTrit are breeder, foundation, registered, and certified. ABC Breeding
Company will maintain the variety by the head-row purification method to produce breeder seed
as needed and all foundation seed. No royalty fees or licensing agreements are anticipated.
7.
State the likely date that certified seed will first be offered for sale. Example: Certified seed of
OurTrit will likely be available for planting in fall of 2015
8.
State whether or not application will be submitted for protection under the U.S. Plant Variety
Protection Act and, if appropriate, whether or not the “Certification Option” will be elected (to be
sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed). If application for PVP is not planned, state
whether relevant descriptive data (morphological only) can be supplied to the PVP database.
Examples: Application for PVP is anticipated with the option that OurTrit can be sold by variety
name only as a class of certified seed. OR: Application for PVP is not planned and descriptive
data (may) (may not) be supplied to the PVP database.
9.
State whether or not certified seed production acreage can be published by AOSCA and
certifying agencies. Examples: Certified seed production acreage (may) (is not to) be published
by AOSCA and individual certifying agencies
